Creamy Three Cheese Skillet Lasagna

Made with three different types of cheese and green onions, this Creamy Three Cheese Skillet Lasagna is comfort food to the core!

This Creamy Three Cheese Skillet Lasagna is a dish that was discovered unexpectedly in a stressful situation. It contains three types of cheese (including cream cheese) and has chopped green onions to give it a little sparkle.

We came across this recipe before our PCS move from Louisiana to New Mexico. Around two weeks before our big move, we found ourselves desperate for ways to use up most of our food items. I found this recipe on the internet and it has been in our family since.

This lasagna was placed on the last menu I ever wrote in the Cajun state. Truth be known, I wanted to blog about it the same day I made it, however, taking pictures of it just wasn’t going to be possible with all the boxes and packing paper surrounding the kitchen table (which is where I take the majority of my pictures). I decided to take the recipe with me on the trip, saving it for when we truly were able to settle down.

Creamy Three Cheese Skillet Lasagna

When I made this the first time, the entire family LOVED it (to include our picky eater). Husband Man suggested that it needed to be our go-to recipe for lasagna.

The traditional way of making lasagna is with a casserole dish and a certain number of pots and pans. This new way of making it replaces the casserole dish with a skillet. You also only need one bowl to mix most of the ingredients. The noodles also cook along with the rest of the recipe, eliminating boiling them beforehand. It literally is a one skillet meal AND one bowl meal!

Did you know lasagna would be THAT easy to make?

I certainly didn’t! Up until now, I used to make ours the traditional way. This recipe definitely cured that! We have made this for family and friends when they come to visit and all of them end up requesting the recipe. It has remained in our family’s treasured volt of recipes and we hope it ends up in yours as well!

Talk about a super short cut!I'm use to taking a bit of time making my lasagna.I happen to enjoy all the prep that goes into making this dish.But, for one of those days when time is very short and I have a very hungry hubby, I will try this recipe out.

Libby, I made this lst night for supper. I bought campanelle (?) pasta they look like the curly ends of lasagna instead of breaking up whole lasagna noodles. It was delicious! A whole lot quicker than making a pan and baking it for an hour like traditional lasagna. this is what i'll be making from now on. Thanks for the great recipe!
